The general sizing of the clothing we carry at Okayama Denim may be a more slim and tapered fit than similar sized clothing from Western brands (i.e. a tagged size 33 waist from one of the Japanese brands we carry, will probably fit like a size 32 in most international denim brands).

Raw Denim

With all of the Unsanforized or Raw denim we carry, please note that the denim will slightly adjust in size according to the body and daily activities of the user. We advise against any washing before at least 20-30 wears. More importantly, for unsanforized denim we suggest to allow the natural creasing and fading to appear before considering washing. Many aficionados will wear their raw denim everyday for at least six months before carefully washing their jeans by hand.

*Once washed, raw denim will shrink between 2.5-5 cm (1-2inches) around the waist, about 8 cm (3 inches) on the inseam of the jeans. Please be careful of this fact when selecting the right size for your raw denim.

One Wash Denim

Washed denim is generally true to size and will not shrink significantly, as is the case with unsanforized. This fabric, typically referred to as One Wash or Sanforized, is pre-shrunk and will shrink only minimally after the first wash.

DETAILS

14 oz. Japanese Selvedge denim

Regular straight fit

5 button fly

Blue selvedge ID line

Lambskin leather back patch

Leaf Logo on back right pocket

Available in either a Raw or One Wash denim, Pure Blue Japan's most popular and basic cut, the XX-003. The fit is a Regular Straight, but with a tapered leg opening - a modern take on the classic regular straight silhouette.

Like many of Pure Blue Japan's jeans, the fabric is of a low-tension shuttle loom, thus featuring the slubby and hairy feeling fabric common to Pure Blue Japan denim. Although this same model has been a part of the Pure Blue Japan collection for years now, the production of these jeans are constant through out every year because the production ouput of the fabric is very limited.

The uniqueness of the slubby denim fabric, coupled with the small-scale production method, make this model from the Pure Blue Japan line up a must have!

*Model is pictured wearing a size 33, One Wash. He weighs 70kg (154 pounds) and is 181cm (5'11") tall.

**Available in either Raw or One Wash denim fabric. Raw denim will shrink 1-2 inches around the waist after wash.
